So who all is heading to St. Louis this weekend for the races?
I headed there this weekend to get a head start on setup and I think its a really fun layout. Its a lot more flowing than I expected!

Finally, a race at a track within 2-hours of my house, see you there! DaveMo will be there too.
Timmay and Spooner, what do I have to run to keep up with you?
7's :ahhh:
really though my best guess... mid 10's
+1
I'll be there, first race :boink:
I'll be there!

Awesome! You'll always remember your first race weekend!

I dont think Brian E. remembers too much about his... might have had something to do with the concussion... :biggrin:

OUCH! (and I don't mean the concussion)!
I'll be there.
I'll be there chasing Buell money and Walt Sipp in SuperTwins and Thunderbike.
Walt said he was going to be there to shake down his new XBRR.
I'll be there for the trackday/practice.....if I can fix my geometry issues by the GT's, I'll sign up and race the weekend.

Cool! Can't wait to see the RR.
Ill be running most of the am lw stuff (sv) on sun. maybe the gt race on sat, all though im not to keen on paying my race orginization to practice before my first race. Hey TRACKADDIX how about letting the racers who dont want to pay an extra 65 bucks or whatever it is(since when is it my job to pay for practice, i thought that was included in the race entry) to allow us to have a one practice session in the fast group before we race sat. at 5pm to get our heads in the right place. Ohh and hey PJ how many people does buell require to be in your races to pay out, at hallet there was like 2 experts (at least thats what i read on the results).
I'll be there. :cheers:
I'll be there on my Buell trying not to get lapped by Walt and Paul.
I'll be there - only the 2nd race of the year for me...
I'll be there, It will be the first race of the season and probably the last for a while. I'm selling my 03 and 99 R6's if anyone is interested. Both will be at the track.

EX 760 (as long as no one has that number this year)

With your 'naked' bike I assume? Couple of clubs near the track where your bike would feel right at home!! :ahhh:
i be there
Just got my bike dyno tuned! Gained 3hp and 6tq. :thumb:
Can't decide on the gearing, how long is that front straight? Heartland Park gearing maybe.

Be easy on me!!
I was there sunday but I only took the R6 and I just kept the same gearing from Hallett. I was topping 5th gear just like Hallett so it seems to work pretty well. I might drop a tooth off the rear though.
As far as practice on Saturday-yeah you usually get a couple rounds for free, but you get basically a full day and its pretty damn cheap for a full trackday! Alot of times there is a friday practice but I know I have paid well over $100 for those practice days.. That is a good idea to maybe include 1 session with a GT entry fee! I would assume most people would want a full day of practice if it were available to them.
-Nick
Bekca I would look at running your Hallett Gearing at Gateway, I run a 16/48 at MAM and thinking about 14/48 for gateway.
What's stock? 15 front?

I agree that Hallett gearing would get you close. Blackhawk gearing if you were a Midwest guy. HPT has a longer, faster front straight I think, or at least it seemed that way.
Mmmmmmm.... I miss going to Hallett.
I ran 14 - 47 gearing at the trackday, it was pretty close to right, toping fifth gear as i leaned the bike into 1.
I will be there. First race too. LW classes and thunderbike. Hope I can get some pointers from all you vetrens.

No minimum grid for Buell contingency, and it pays every CCS weekend.
But hopefully we'll get a good turn out regardless. I really like Gateway.
I'll be there helping Mitch with tires, testing the endurance bike
and trying out the new bike.

Where ya been?
Can we get in Friday night?
Yep, gates open at 6 I believe, and there will be 24 hour access from there on out.
-Nick
6 pm that is. if im not mistaken. Also Gateway will be charging a 20$ roll in/set up fee. again, if im not mistaken.

WTH is that fee? This is in addition to the entry fee to get in? Do they charge that on Saturday morning too?
I think it is for if you stay all night (camp). It has nothing to do with trackaddic, It is gateway charging us. Theres always a charge for something.

Totally bogus! I was just going to drop my trailer on Friday night... if they don't charge it on Saturday, I may just wait till then to bring it in... yes, I am a cheap bastard!
Becka I had my Hallett gearing there last weekend and was just BARELY off....I was just barely out of gear on the front straight, really strange because Hallett appears to have a longer straight.
I'd drop one of two teeth on the rear from your Hallett gearing and you should be fine.
Wave to Spooner as you pass him, would ya?
Can I do this? :ass:
Just kidding, don't think he'll have to worry too much.
I'll be there running EX UNL and GTO classes.
Anyone have an idea of what the winning EX UNL guys are running at gateway for laptimes?
Not that I'm gonna be any where near competitive yet, just trying to figure out how many times I'll be lapped in a sprint race.
:wah:
Word...
pending who shows up... My magic eight ball says 8's to win. hard to say with no racing there for 2 years.
Thank weekend is a pretty big weekend for Gateway. They have the Supercars event that day and Midnight Madness that night.
Does the $20 dollars cover access to the Midnight Madness Event, which would (well maybe) make sense to me. It have typically been a crazy event.
Oh yeah, I will be there.

More info-
No move in fee on Saturday morning, Gateway charges $20 for early move-in on Friday as the track is not officially TrackAddix/CCS until Saturday. Gates open at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. Early move in is available starting at 6:00 p.m. Friday. Gateway strongly recommends move-in before 8:00, otherwise you will have to deal with the large traffic/crowds for the Midnight Madness event. The gates are open all night I believe. You will have to pay Gateway another $10 if you want to spectate Midnight Madness, or $20 to drag or drift, runs til 3:00 a.m.
Timmay, drag & drift that R6. There's even a mechanical bull for Cowboy!
Thanks for the info Randy.
Weather's lookin' GOOOD!

considering dropping trailer and bike after a few passes on the dragstrip, launch is critical at GIR as passing zones are at a premium... midnight madness is a BLAST!!!!

Problem is you gotta turn too... or are you taking the "high road" round the banking? :biggrin:

I don't think passing will be that bad-plenty of spots to sneak by on the brakes.
1 and 7... really nowhere else under breaking. Maybe I'm just to cordial.... :biggrin:
:spank: Bad Timmay!

That you are. I am used to racing against Wu and going for a pass if there is just barely enough room to get by... He extends the same kindness to me ;)

Not sure but I don't think "neked" will get you through tech.
Hey Tim, don't pretend you didn't like it. I'm off to work and then headed to STL, see you all there. :thumb:
